Yes, Ed, they don't seem to have a lot there on ships to Tampa.

Thanks, Lupe, but I have that description of the SS Cuba; It just
doesn't jive with my gfather arriving on it in 1908 if it didn't
start sailing until 1921! I may write P & O and see if they can give
me a better idea of the history of that ship. I also need to see the
ship manifest (back to the LDS FHC!) to see the actual listing of
his arrival.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Karen Davis-Pumarada
